so, my bike will not start.
we bought a new battery, followed directions, and after installing battery... it started right up.
THEN, we started weeding out unused wires in my harness, and after wiring the lights and electric start, stupidly left out the reg/rect. and the bike failed to start after that, and the battery was DEAD.
It still had a kick start lever, and we tried several times to kick it over, had great compression, but absolutely no juice... even tested spark, and had none.
Is my DEAD as hell battery the culprit? Would a battery that dead not produce spark even with the kick start???
Please help!
